[SOLVED] Best video card I can use in my ASUS G20CB

[archaicguy]

I just started getting into some VR gaming and want to pump up the performance some. What is the best card that I can use and get to fit?
It's an ASUS G20CB
I7 6700
16 mb ram
GTX 970 is the current card that I want to upgrade

Thanks

Probably can't go bigger than a GTX 1060 - MAYBE a 1070 - but because of the power brick system, you don't have many substantial options.
They(Asus) don't want you doing your own upgrades, anyway.

Oh! It also has to be a blower model, just like your current gpu.

I take that back. It's the 1660 models - 1660/1660 Super/1660Ti - but there are very few out in the market that were made with blower coolers.
You may, or may not have any luck finding an affordable one.

Sorry, those 16-cards happened to slip my mind at the time.

When you refer to blower coolers what is it in particular that I should be looking for?

Models with a single radial fan. Examples:
GALAX GTX 1660 SUPER
ASUS TURBO GTX 1070
EVGA GTX 1060
